hey y'all

in Adoption
My name is Lauren and my husband and I just dropped all of our paperwork off at DHS last week and took the first steps towards adoption. I have yet to see if there are any rules to this board or anything (I know the other board I have been on did). So, I will keep this short just in case. We have been married for almost 7 years and TTC for 6. After only two rounds of clomid my doctor told me there was not actually anything wrong with either of us and he had no idea why we were not pregnant. The clomid made me VERY sick so I stopped that and spent the next 6 months trying to figure out how to feel better mentally and physically. Now we are on a path towards adoption. We always knew we would adopt we just thought we would have biological children then adopted children in that order...what is the phrase? You tell God your plans and He laughs? Well that is what happened. We are so excited to take these first steps and I would love any advice you can give me about the process. I am doing my own research for sure but I know if you have been through the process at all you have tips on things to do and things to avoid. Thanks so much y'all!

    welcome :)  

    We adopted our beautiful kiddos from foster care following an IF battle and now, being on the other side of it all, i'm so glad it worked out the way it did!

    Hi Lauren!  Welcome to the board! :)  Praying God's blessings as you take your next steps!
    I'm a dance studio owner, writer, cat mommy, and adventuress who is married to the man of her dreams. My husband and I have had a long-time dream to adopt and it's happening in a way that we didn't quite anticipate. But, like any move of God, it's turning out way better than we expected. We'd love for you to follow our story at www.kirstenkline.com!

    Welcome to the board! We had a very similar experience...planned on adopting after bio children, did 4 rounds of clomid and then decided to just adopt first. We may consider more IF treatments after adopting but this just felt right to us for now. There's a link to some FAQ's at the top of the board- feel free to ask questions! Good luck!

    Welcome!! 

    After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption!  We are so excited to see what the future holds.
